"Hailed as "a virtuoso of stunning brilliance," a "young master," and a pianist with "unusual poetical expressiveness" by the international music press, Luiza Borac is one of the most charismatic artists of her generation.
Born in Romania, she studied at the Enescu Music School for gifted children and the Music Academy in Bucharest, as well as at the Academy of Music and Drama in Hanover.
Luiza Borac was the 1991 prize-winner of the Enescu International Piano Festival and was awarded the Romanian Critics Prize with the distinction "Young Artist of the Year."
In 1998 she was awarded the Silver Medal of the Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition in Salt Lake City, USA. One year later she was a soloist at the Young Artists International Festival in Los Angeles and gave her debut in the Carnegie Recital Hall in New York which received exceptional reviews.
Luiza Borac is the winner of over twenty five national and international awards and distinctions, among them first prizes at Viotti-Valsesia, Italy and the Mendelssohn-Germany International Piano Competition as well as the Mozarteum Salzburg Prize.
In 2002 she was the winner of the 1st Prize "Prix d'Oslo," the Audience Prize and the Special Prize for the best Grieg interpretation at the "Concours Grieg" International Piano Competition in Oslo, Norway.
Her international concert schedule includes recitals at the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Steinway Hall New York, Radio Hall Hamburg, Palais Pallfy Vienna, Cologne Philharmonie, Puccini Hall Milan, Athenaeum Bucharest as well as many CD, radio and TV productions around Europe and the USA. Luiza Borac performs in festivals including the Grieg Festival in Oslo, Prokofiev Festival at the Barbican Centre London, Aldeburgh Festival, Chopin Festivals in Vienna and Milan, South Bohemian Music Festival, Braunschweiger Classix and Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival.
Luiza Borac has performed as soloist with many orchestras including the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra, Utah Symphony Orchestra, Bucharest and Cologne Radio Orchestras and The Philharmonic Orchestra of Nations.
She has also appeared frequently as a chamber musician and has featured in many CD, radio and TV productions around Europe and USA.
Luiza's first recording for AVIE of George Enescu's Three Piano Suites was enthusiastically received throughout the world, not only for her wonderfully idiomatic performances, but also for the truthful quality of the recorded sound. A hybrid-SACD version was subsequently released about which What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision (UK) said, "Luiza Borac's take on Enescu's Piano Suites is a testing mix of rapid-fire notes, uncluttered acoustic, and moments of breathtaking subtlety". In 2005 AVIE released her second recording for the label: Wanderer featuring music by Schubert and Liszt."^^xsd:string
